Nang with the aim of serving 500,000 patients by 2020 and boosting
and for hospitals and clinics.
The alliance was
established by Homecares, iKure, AT Group, Innotek and Job Links, to
improve the quality and effectiveness of medical services, research and
development and education.
It will focus on connecting
patients with the right doctors through apps that can be accessed in remote
areas.
According to Bui Thi Huong
Giang, founder of AT Group, the alliance was set up to offer various healthcare
packages to four main groups: hospitals, physicians, clinics and patients.
She said that joint
medical services and remote healthcare check-ups and treatment technologies
will help doctors see more patients per day, thus increasing the capacity and
quality of medical check-ups and treatment.
Patients will not need to
visit hospitals to see doctors and can instead have an easy way to connect with
medical centres near their homes.
The introduction of the
medical alliance should also help reduce overloading at public hospitals.
Nguyen Thi Van Anh, CEO and
founder of Homecare Da Nang, said the alliance would help ease the stress
placed on doctors because they would be able to contact their patients using
the new technology. Mobile health workers would support doctors to take blood
samples or medical waste from patient’s homes for testing in laboratories.
Da Nang has 11 hospitals
with 1,000 doctors, and more than 620 consulting rooms and medical care
centres.
The city plans to ease
overloading in its hospitals by 2025 when doctors will only be allowed to
examine 25 patients each day.
At least 70 percent of
inpatients in ’s hospital system are from neighbouring provinces and
cities in the central and Central Highland regions.-VNS/VNA
